The Texas Center for the Book (TCFB) at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC) recently announced four new Literary Landmarks, to be unveiled across the state in special ceremonies this fall and winter:

• Theodis "Ted" Shine, Jr. Literary Landmark, Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, Dallas, Texas
   
• John Avery Lomax Literary Landmark, John A. Lomax Amphitheater, Meridian, Texas
   
• Dr. Gloria E. Anzaldúa Literary Landmark, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Library, Edinburg, Texas
   
• Lonn Wood Taylor Literary Landmark, Jeff Davis County Library, Fort Davis, Texas

Theodis "Ted" Shine, Jr., often called “the dean of Black Texas playwrights,” was also a renowned author. The creator of more than 100 plays, Shine also wrote on the contributions of African Americans to American theater. Shine was a student at Booker T. Washington High School years before it became the award-winning, integrated Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (BTWHSPVA).

Literary Landmarks are special places located across the country that attract tourists, book lovers and history buffs to educate the public about important literary works and history. The four new Texas sites were approved this spring by United for Libraries, the national organization that administers the program, and all are made possible by funding from the Summerlee Foundation of Dallas.
